Study Notes
Muscle Tissue
- Smooth muscle consists of fusiform cells and has slow, involuntary contractions.
- Skeletal muscle activity can be consciously controlled by the body.
- The main function of muscle tissue is to generate force and produce movement, which is essential for various bodily functions including locomotion, breathing, digestion, and maintaining posture.
- Skeletal muscle has the presence of regularly repeated arrangements of myofilaments and alternating light and dark bands, giving it a striated appearance.
- Smooth muscle lacks striations and has slow, involuntary contractions.
